Evolution in action: plants resistant to herbicides
Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing
weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide …

Deciphering the evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds
Resistance to herbicides in arable weeds is increasing rapidly worldwide and threatening
global food security. Resistance has now been reported to all major herbicide modes of …

Metabolism-based herbicide resistance and cross-resistance in crop weeds: a threat to herbicide sustainability and global crop production
Weedy plant species that have evolved resistance to herbicides due to enhanced metabolic
capacity to detoxify herbicides (metabolic resistance) are a major issue. Metabolic herbicide …

Unravelling the genetic bases of non‐target‐site‐based resistance (NTSR) to herbicides: a major challenge for weed science in the forthcoming decade
C Délye - Pest management science, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Non‐target‐site‐based resistance (NTSR) can confer unpredictable cross‐resistance to
herbicides. However, the genetic determinants of NTSR remain poorly known. The current …

Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants
Predictions based on evolutionary theory suggest that the adaptive value of evolved
herbicide resistance alleles may be compromised by the existence of fitness costs. There …

Evolutionary‐thinking in agricultural weed management
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central
importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and …

Resistance to acetyl‐CoA carboxylase‐inhibiting herbicides
SS Kaundun - Pest Management Science, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Resistance to acetyl‐CoA carboxylase herbicides is documented in at least 43 grass weeds
and is particularly problematic in Lolium, Alopecurus and Avena species. Genetic studies …

Plant cytochrome P450-mediated herbicide metabolism
B Siminszky - Phytochemistry Reviews, 2006 - Springer
In the last two decades it has become apparent that enzymes of the P450 monooxygenase
(P450) superfamily are responsible for the Phase I metabolism of numerous herbicides …

Synthetic auxin herbicides: finding the lock and key to weed resistance
Synthetic auxin herbicides are designed to mimic indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), an integral plant
hormone affecting cell growth, development, and tropism. In this review, we explore target …
